- Go to the village.
That’s right, you really read that correctly. Visit the village. The city is full of noise, full of dirt and full of sweat, you need a quiet rural place to hide for a while and reflect on life. This is the opportunity for you to unplug from social media and technology for a while and experience life without artificial thing attached to it. This also gives you the chance to experience village life on the farm, fishing areas and go on a hike.
- Attend the Chale Wote Street Art Festival
Fortunately, the Chale Wote Festival is normally organized during the long vacation period. It is a yearly event that brings art, music, dance and performance out into the streets. It is a fun event to attend with your friends, take pictures and see art by talented Ghanaians that are discovered.
